The Wiig Assessment of Basic Concepts®-Spanish (WABC®-S) by WABC® author Elisabeth Wiig and noted bilingual author Henriette Langdon, gives you an excellent way to identify basic concept deficiencies in your Spanish-speaking students ages 3;0 to 7;11 years.

Careful consideration of vocabulary - The WABC®-S contains multiple word choices that allow you to use appropriate regional vocabulary from a variety of Spanish-speaking regions (Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, as well as Central and South America).

Age appropriate - The WABC®-S contains tests for two age levels. Nivel 1- Un Día en el Zoológico is for preschool children ages 3;0 to 5;11 years, and Nivel 2- Un Día en el Parque is for children in kindergarten and early elementary grades ages 5;0 to 7;11.

Valid and Reliable - The WABC®-S is a valid and reliable assessment instrument. For the standardization, the population sample included 685 children from the US and Spanish-Speaking countries. The population from the US closely resembles 2000 US Census Data. Test-Retest correlations were very good with r = .97 for Nivel 1 Total Score and r = .93 Nivel 2 Total Score. Inter-rater reliability was also high, where both Nivel 1 and Nivel 2 was r = .97 or higher. In comparison to the Boehm-3 Spanish, we found that both tests examine similar skills (Nivel 1 Total Raw Scores, Pearson’s r = .75 and Nivel 2 Total Raw Scores, Pearson’s r = .73).
